Dominican Republic-Israel diplomatic relations

Overview

The Dominican Republic has continued to strengthen its diplomatic and technical ties with Israel. In August 2026, the Dominican government honored outgoing Israeli ambassador Raslan Abu Rukun with the Order of Merit of Duarte, Sánchez and Mella, recognizing his efforts in fostering cooperation across sectors such as technology, education, agriculture, and water management.

Following this, the Dominican Republic has moved to expand bilateral cooperation through new technical initiatives. The National Irrigation Technification Directorate met with the incoming Israeli Ambassador, Oren Bar El, to discuss modernizing irrigation systems and optimizing water resources through advanced agricultural technology. This meeting focused on technical exchanges intended to modernize national irrigation systems and increase agricultural productivity through efficient water management.
